Along with the Sunday afternoon Death Race (see below), a host of other activities were scheduled to be held over the weekend.
SATURDAY ROLE PLAY
On Saturday the kids were given a chance to play and show off their skills on the Role Play board. Everything was going well until, as reported, someone blew out all the doors on the imaginary space ship and everyone drifted out into space. Andrew has since been rocommended to Michael Caine for the next re-make of the Italian Job.
SATURDAY NIGHT QUIZ
A kind of board game with a modelling theme in which three teams competed against each other for...well nothing really...anyway the ladies beat the singles and the husbands hands down, coming out clear as having won the most money.
DRESSED HAT
Saturday night ended with a bit more fun, when the dressed hats were doned. Each hat was decorated, either abstractly or criptically, with something that related to a film or TV show or personality.
It was up to those present to guess the answer.
SUNDAY NIGHT QUIZ
This went on for a looonnnnnng time, but credit where it is due the quiz masters stepped in at the last moment when the original organizer was unable to attend.
A mixure of music, movie, and TV questions boiled together with some picture rounds and some general knowledge made for an entertaining evening. A good way to relax and start the unwelcome wind down after what had been an excellent weekend.
MONDAY
The job clearing the rooms started in earnest, but with little enthusiasm. Those still present seem reluctant to leave, and willingly sat around have thos last minute chats that they had missed over the previous two days.
To round it off an impromtu visit was made to the Games Workshop factory, where there was a tour of the games room, the museum, the shop and a quick stop off to grab a bit to eat in the cafe.
DEATH RACE 2003
Ever got 'cut up' on your travels and thought how nice it would be if you were Mad Max? Well this was every daddyio's chance to get their own back.
A new event at DAR 2003 was 'Death Race 4.'
Come the Sunday there was the FTVMC equivalent of a post-apocalypse road to hell or, to put it plainer, a scalexteric track set up. The challenge was to obtain a Scalextric car, convert it and race it, simple as that.

THE RAFFLE
Rupert Ramone collected items for both of the club raffles (Saturday and Sunday), and proved worth to the task.
Both raffles were well supported with some high desireable prizes showing up on the tables throughout the weekend.
